Compromise, but don't really, I Taxi, and fuel is a bigger problem for us than most, as we can't choose to do without it, and our fares are set by the council, so when it goes up, we just have to accept the loss. I replaced mine this year, with a Mitsubishi diesel, 130ps goes like stink if you push the turbo, but does 1,000 miles for £122 on taxiing, which is the worst fuel scenario, stop start all day, it cost a chunk more than I would normally pay, but sneaks into the £115 a year tax band as it has low emissions
I love fast cars, my day car used to be a 5.3 jag but no more I am afraid, just can't afford fuel.
Until something changes, we will have to adapt or sink.
PS I had already signed it, and the last one years ago!
